Question

subtract in the numerator and denominator to find the slope of line p.
slope = \frac{vertical distance}{horizontal distance} \frac{change in y - values}{change in x - values}
= \frac{2 - 5}{3 - 7}
= \frac{\square}{\square}

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate numerator difference

$2 - 5 = -3$

Step2: Calculate denominator difference

$3 - 7 = -4$

Step3: Simplify the fraction

$\frac{-3}{-4} = \frac{3}{4}$

Answer:

$\frac{3}{4}$
